FROM OUR PRINCIPAL MRS LEANNE SMITH

As we move through week 8 of the term we are receiving more phone calls of students who are either positive for COVID-19 or are close contacts.  Thank you to all parents and carers for letting the school know when this impacts their families.  We are sending out login details for each student who is away to connect to the Virtual Learning Centre.  I can definitely recommend connecting your children to this site.  There is a wealth of learning opportunities within it which are set at the grade level of your child, including 2 live sessions each day.  If you have any issues with connecting to the site please contact the School Office.

I understand for all families this is a time of uncertainty and worry.  Please be assured that if your child is symptom free the best place for them to be is at school.  We have all the COVID safe protocols in place here at Molesworth and all staff are doing everything possible to keep school life as normal and as safe a possible. 

A great quick under 2 minute video talks about how to talk to your child about COVID-19.  https://youtu.be/Pi-M9I5jIfY

If you have any questions please contact the School Office and I am more than happy to talk with you.  Other useful tips include -  Supporting health and wellbeing during COVID-19 and the Wellbeing page.

There are always RATs that can be collected from the School Office if you need any more for your children.

School Association

Thanks to the parents who were nominated for School Association.  Congratulations to Ms Jess Burns and Mrs Anna Hemsley who were nominated and accepted to continue as committee members.  Congratulations to Mrs Brittany Hayden who accepted her nomination to join the committee for this year.  We still have 1 vacancy for a 2 year position on the committee.  If you are interested please contact the School Office for a nomination form.  The School Association are representatives for your voice, it would be great to have all positions filled.  Last night at the AGM Ms Jess Burns was elected as Chair, Mrs Kara Cowley as Deputy Chair and Mrs Telisa Baker as Secretary/Treasurer.  Congratulations to all.

School Photos are next week, all ordering this year is via the online QR code sent home a few weeks ago.  If you need that replaced please contact the School Office and they will give you the details of the photographer.
